Perfect for you if...

You enjoy cosy mysteries with genuinely clever plots and wry academic protagonists who solve crimes between faculty meetings.
You appreciate whimsy and absurdist humour woven into your whodunits rather than grim procedurals.
You're already fond of the Peter Shandy series and want more of MacLeod's bucolic New England sleuthing.

Maybe not for you if...

You need your mysteries fast-paced and high-stakes; this unfolds with the deliberate charm of small-town gossip.
You prefer detectives who are hard-boiled professionals, not bookish academics juggling murder investigations with their day jobs.
You find deliberately quirky characters tiresome rather than endearing.

About this book

Jim Feldster is a tall man known for his skill at milking cows and his involvement in numerous local organizations in Balaclava County. His wife, Mirelle, is a gossip prone to hysteria—a fact that explains his perfect attendance at lodge meetings. One night, Peter and Helen Shandy, academics who live nearby, are awakened at 2:47 a.m. by Mirelle's screams. Jim has not returned home, and Mirelle fears the worst. Peter investigates Jim's disappearance, consulting his lodge brothers and searching for clues, but finds little to go on. The situation becomes more complicated when a mystery author arrives in town and Mirelle is found murdered. As Peter continues his investigation, he begins to suspect that Jim Feldster may not be the respectable figure he has appeared to be.
